How Synergy Helps Weight Loss
I'm getting a little extra work in today since all is quiet around the house. The wife is off somewhere on a mission, and the cats all seem to have taken a snow day. Usually there are at least one or two crying out for attention, but it's almost as if someone issued a sleep command, and they all obeyed. That's a rare event, let me tell you.
Taking a break from the action, I just read a great article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that was published in 2007. The article has a fascinating consensus.
One conclusion was that study members who took fish oil and did moderate exercise lost weight. They also had increases in muscle mass, and profound changes in cardiac risk factors.
The subjects who merely took fish oil but did not exercise did not lose weight, and the same results were shown for a group who took sunflower oil.
The people in the group that did lose weight ingested a dosage of 3 to 6 grams of fish oil a day. Normally, most people would take less, but I think that the people in this study had major weight problems, so their dosages were higher.
In an article which reviewed the study, the author points out a few other things, which are exactly what I've been saying.
1. You get what you pay for. You should get a high potency molecularly distilled pharmaceutical grade fish oil, free of contaminants and PCBs.
2. The fish oil product that you have chosen should not taste fishy. A sure sign of an inferior product is "fish burps." If you are experiencing fish burps, then you are not taking the type of product that you should be taking -- one that has an enteric coating. This coating ensures that the softgel will not dissolve before it has reached the intestines.
3. Don't be tempted to take flaxseed oil instead -- it's not nearly as effective as fish oil. You would need to take 12 grams of flaxseed oil in order to match the benefits of only two high-quality fish oil softgels. And flaxseed oil has the added detriment of causing you to spend more time in the bathroom than might be convenient.
If you want to create synergy for weight loss, try enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil, good food, and moderate exercise. - 17273
